Introducing Omar!

On Monday morning we went to pick up our baby boy, Omar and have been enjoying him every moment since then!

Omar went to the vet this morning, and the vet said he is in perfect health and remarked on how relaxed and comfortable he was in the veterinary office. He said some puppies are really nervous. But not our Omar!

He fussed and whined a little during the car ride home, but then we placed him in a doggy car seat we had brought with us, and he nestled right into it and napped for quite a while. We were also impressed that he peed outside of the car when we stopped at the rest stops. We just placed a piece of newspaper on the ground, and he got the idea that he should pee outside. That said, he didn't pee on the paper but next to it.

He is adjusting just fine to his new home. He seems so happy, and he is really playful. He also loves to nap on the couch, lying on his back and showing off his belly.

We had friends over with little kids last night, and he was so good with them. He was running after one of the little boys and playing with him and having a great time.

We are actually surprised to see how quickly he has adapted to his new environment. We couldn't have gotten a better puppy. Our only little problem is his sharp little piranha teeth. He doesn't know how to control his bite yet and we correct him every time. I'm hoping he'll get it soon.

Omar is just gorgeous!! The puppy teeth will be around for a while but sounds like you are on the right track, have lots of chewy things for him so he doesn't take it out on you! Good luck!

We have lots of chew toys like the kong toy, the nylabones etc but he doesn't really chew on them so much. Do you think he's too young for antlers?

You can get the antler pieces in large or small sizes so I think it would be worth a try, the puppy needles will be around a couple more months until the permanent teeth come and there will be a lot of biting and chewing until then. Good luck and keep us posted.
